Readathon Wrapup

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I had an amazing time during the readathon. I will definitely be back next April (I’ve had some sleep, BethF, so I can say that now!).

My aim for the readathon was to read 5 books, and managed to read 6, so I’m pretty happy on that front. Hunger Games and Paper Towns are warring for top billing at the moment, but reviews will be coming this week for the following:

I’d like to thank the readathon organisers for the amazing work they did in getting the event up and running, and of course Dewey, without whom we wouldn’t have the readathon at all.

I’d also like to give special thanks to all the cheerleaders who came and cheered me on – especially those whose rallying came in verse and blessing form (amazing!).

Traditional read-a-thon blessing:

May the bookshelf be there to greet you.
May all the books appeal.
May the fridge be full of tasty snacks;
the words fall soft upon your eyes and until the read-a-thon ends,
may you always hold a book in the palm of your hand.
